Conference Overview

Benefits Summit 2010

Wednesday October 27 2010 • Arcadian Court • Toronto, Ontario

Benefits management is critical to your organization’s success.

Changing demographics and recent economic challenges are increasing the financial pressures on benefits programs. Conference Board research shows that benefits costs are increasing 10% each year, and make up an increasing percentage of the total cost of employment. In considering these facts, it’s important to remember that benefits still play a key role in attracting, keeping, and engaging people with the skills your organization needs.

Learn how to optimize the most important aspects of your benefits program.

The move to flexible benefits, revamping retiree benefit programs, balancing increasing costs with the ongoing need to attract talent, guiding employees to make the best choices, integrating a wellness strategy into your benefits plan - these and other challenges make benefit management more complex than ever.

Advice from the experts will guide you through the complexities of this changing landscape, including cost containment strategies, the use of return on investment (ROI) metrics to assess plans and program elements, and more.

This event features the findings of three new 2010 Conference Board benefits reports:

Benefits Benchmarking: Balancing Competitiveness and Cost
Beyond Benefits: Creating a Culture of Health and Wellness in Canadian Organizations
Disability and Sick Leave Management

Complementing the research findings will be case studies of successful programs, providing a comprehensive view of the current environment and best practices to help you implement changes in your organization.
